Shot my first session today with my Norinco 84s. About halfway through the 30 round mag on a rapid fire it cycled twice Put 60 rounds through it and that was the only one. What causes this in AK type weapons?

| With the rifle unloaded and no magazine locked, perform the standard semi-auto function check; Cock the rifle, pull the trigger and hold it down- the hammer should fall. Still holding the trigger down, cock it again. Release the trigger. The hammer must not fall, although a click should be heard. Pull the trigger. The hammer should fall. If your rifle passes this static test, it probably is okay, and you were simply 'bump-firing' like they said (congratulations - your rifle is going to be a LOT of fun). If it doesn't pass the test, by all means do not load it again until it has been examined and repaired by a competent armorer. |
| Thanks Guys! I will give the test. This is my "fun gun" so I think I will try to perfect the bump firing method. Never tried it with my AR, it is my varmint rig and gets treated a little better. I was impresssed with the open sight accuracy of the AK. was busting rocks in the pasture out to 200 yards easy. |
